He’s really good at surrendering and embarrassing the U.S. Can’t stand up to ISIS, Russia, China, or even the Benghazi attackers.

I agree. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the need for Turkey to be included in NATO evaporated. Believe me, the Turks would NEVER come to our defense if it were not in its interests. I’ll always remember how they denied the US the ability to go into Iraq from the north...certainly costing American lives.

True dat. But that is ancient history and long before Turkey began the slow process of slip-sliding away into Islamism. It’s on that path now.

Remember how the Turks refused the 4th ID to enter Iraq thru Turkey? The Turkish parliament denied us permission.

They are members of NATO. I do not want to go to war for them either, but a Patriot Missile is just a defensive thing.
